Just off Albert Road – Southsea’s commercial artery, home to shops, cafés and entertainment venues – is this light-filled two-bedroom apartment. Floor-to-ceiling windows open onto a balcony overlooking the street, an ideal place on which to drink your Nespresso coffee – alternatively, curl up on the L-shaped sofa with the morning’s paper. Free WiFi makes it easy to plan days out. This home comes with allocated parking, though with Southsea Beach just a 15-minute walk away, you may not need to drive. A five-minute taxi ride will bring you to HMS Victory and other famous museums.

Home truths:
*This home is on the fourth floor and has no lift access
*Parties, smoking and pets are not allowed
